What is Project-Based Learning?

Project-Based Learning is the natural way to learn. Students set their own learning goals in order to meet the graduation requirements of the school. At Escuela Verde, students develop, research, work, and produce their own projects—they meet learning on their own terms In practice, Project-Based Learning means:
